First he does something horrible to his eyebrows, and then he threatens to cut off his mole. More disruptive than Winston’s pogo specifically is the general concept of a pogo, because if Winston has one, then doesn’t everyone? Schmidt, who’s never exactly secure about his body, goes wild with self-criticism as he tries to imagine what his roommates are saying about him behind his back. (Models are hell on showers, Schmidt explains, since their low-protein diet causes them to “shed like a $4 Christmas sweater.”)
Winston disavows all responsibility for pogoing, blaming “a combination of adrenaline and great circulation.” And the housemates seem pretty willing to accept it as an unavoidable facet of loft living, even if it’s disconcerting to Cece, who’s staying at the apartment while her plumbing gets repaired. And you don’t want to know what it did to Nick’s pizza. One time, it actually changed the channel while they were watching a Bears game.
The term comes from Winston’s overeager boner, which appears with such startling regularity that Nick, Jess, and Schmidt had to invent a shorthand for discussing it. Instead, it was all slapstick, as Nick and Jess played amateur detective and Schmidt and Winston taught us all the meaning of the word pogo.Ī pogo, in house parlance, is a personality quirk that irritates the other housemates so much that they talk about it. With one poignant - but underplayed! - exception, last night’s episode contained no moments of deep feeling.
After spending the first half of the year pushing everyone’s emotional buttons, New Girl seems ready to settle into a more relaxed mid-season swing.
